A Meta-Analysis of the Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Relations Between Executive Functioning and Math in Early Childhood by Jane E. Hutchison, Bijan Tabrizian, Nina Bajnauth, Ander Avdellas, Deborah Phillips, Ian M. Lyons

“…We then examined whether the strength of the EF-Math relation in this age-range depends on measurement factors, socio-economic status (SES), and the nature and direction of longitudinal relations. [1] Overall achievement measures of EF and math generally led to higher estimates of the EF-Math relation relative to measures of isolated EF subprocesses or specific math skills, though this may be due more to measurement than developmental factors. [2] EF measures using numerical stimuli inflate estimates of the EF-Math association by roughly 40%. [3] Low SES samples showed the strongest average EF-Math associations. [4] Longitudinal associations that do not adjust for Time-1 measurement of the outcome variable lead to inflated (as much as 120%) estimates of directional associations. …”

Development of RP-HPLC Method for the Simultaneous Quantitation of Levamisole and Albendazole: Application to Assay Validation by S. Sowjanya, Ch. Devadasu

“…The analysis was carried out using Inertsil ODS C18 (4.6 x 150 mm, 5 μm) column, and the separation was carried out using a mobile phase containing a buffer of pH 3.5 and acetonitrile (70:30 v/v) pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with variable wavelength UV-detection at 224 nm. Both the drugs were well resolved in the stationary phase and the retention times were 2.350 min and 4.055 for levamisole and albendazole, respectively. …”
